Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
a listener production. Hey, Sasha Barber-Gatt with you. Welcome to The Briefing. As the ink dries on Kyle Sanderland's $12 million settlement with ARN, anyone thinking or hoping the radio shock jock might fade into obscurity is very mistaken. The deal includes some limited details on his new venture, but from what we do know, it could change the audio landscape in Australia forever.
He sounded really bright.
Chapter 2: What criticisms did Pauline Hanson face during her press club speech?
He sounded excited about what he's about to do. I think he, in his own mind, has probably drawn a line in the sand. That was then. Can I now start to move forward and do the things that I want to do?
That's coming up in the second half of this episode. But first, as always, it's time for the headlines with Chris Spirou on Thursday, the 18th of June.
Morning, Sash. And now that you've said the 18th of June, I remember it's my mum's birthday. So happy birthday, mum. All righty. We are starting with Oz Politics this morning and Pauline Hanson has outlined her vision for the country as one in which common sense prevails, public broadcasting is axed and where multiculturalism doesn't exist.
We cannot be a multicultural society. We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural. Australians must live under the one cultural umbrella.
The One Nation leader used her first ever National Press Club address in Canberra yesterday to outline her party's position on a number of ranging issues, which also included transgender rights, abortion access and workplace relations.
Businesses also tell me you can't sack people these days. They're on their phones, they don't work, they don't turn up. They actually are lazy and businesses are tied to it. They've had enough. They want change. You talk about same pay. If you're male or female, you do get the same pay. That's all smoke and mirrors what they're telling you.
And while the Queensland Senator says she welcomes journalists scrutinising her party, people and politics, she did pledge to axe the SBS and turn the ABC into a subscription-only service in the cities if elected to government.
From its shim and down, the ABC has proven itself to be completely in denial about its profoundly transparent political bias and the activists in its ranks. Yet they think of themselves as a pillar of democracy. The arrogance is stunning in its scope. It is partly for this reason I have at times refused ABC interviews.
I will continue to do so because as media outlets go, the ABC is very low on my list of priorities and their bias against One Nation Me is obvious.

Chapter 3: What were the main points of Pauline Hanson's address on multiculturalism?
So yeah, not a lot of new things coming from Pauline Hanson yesterday at all.
No, it just felt like a solidifying of what we think we already knew. There were obviously some points that ABC and SBS stuff is definitely new. She's formally put into words that she would consider winding back things like paid parental leave while also saying the gender pay gap doesn't exist.
Now, what she's saying, what she believes doesn't exist is that you and I, Chris, sitting down to do this job together aren't paid the same amount because even though we do the exact same thing. What she's saying is, well, that doesn't happen. No.
But the gender pay gap exists when people, women, take things like maternity leave to go look after babies and then they come back to work and they've lost opportunities. They're not having their superannuation paid or they weren't in the past. That has now been changed by the federal government. So, you know, her claims can be quite easily fact-checked around those things.
Obviously, I haven't gone through the entire speech to fact check every single statement she made. There were a lot of them, but I'd encourage everyone to maybe go and do some wide reading today if they do want to understand a bit more about what she said and whether there was much truth in it.
Overseas now where US officials have finally revealed what is in the peace deal between the White House and Iran. The 14-point memorandum of understanding is due to be signed in person on Friday in Switzerland. And while some details had been spoken about until now, we hadn't seen the document in full.
The first point declares the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, and that includes Lebanon.
That remains a potential roadblock to peace in the region, though, with Israel continuing to have a military presence in the country and continuing to target Hezbollah. We did hear Donald Trump come out at the G7 summit in France, which is about to wrap up.
And he pretty strongly criticized Israel again and made comments about how you don't need to destroy a building every time you're looking for someone. You know, there's more evidence there of a frosting of the relationship between the US and Israel. We'll have to watch that one.

Chapter 4: How did the press club incident involving a banner unfold?
Hope you enjoyed it. And that, my dear friends, it continues, and that, my dear friends, is what happens when Queensland plays with a full team for the full 80 minutes. Strong emoji. We look forward to welcoming the Blues to Suncorp Stadium for the decider in a few weeks. Queenslander in all caps, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.
Oh, and Sash and Chris, I'm sorry for your loss. Oh, Natalie, now, right, we will eat our hats. We lost this one. But, hey, it sets up a decider for number three, which I actually like.
Yeah, look, as a very casual viewer, I fell asleep within the first 15 minutes on the lounge. But very casual viewer. I love a decider. I want it to be, you know, everyone going in for game three, getting all excited for it. It makes it so much more interesting. Who wants a clean sweep? Who wants it all decided by game two? We want it to go to game three. So bring it on, Queensland.
Bring it on, Natalie. Yeah.
Yeah, we will regroup July 8th. Mark your calendar, Nat. I look forward to the DM. Alrighty, that is it for our headlines for today. Coming up next is your deep dive, Sash, into Kyle Sandilands' settlement with Radio Network ARN, the settlement that came through yesterday, all about it and what it means for the future of audio in Australia. Stick around. That deep dive is coming up for you next.
Pack your popcorn away, because the running legal battle between Carl Sanderlands and his former employer is officially over, with both sides calling off what was shaping up to be a blockbuster trial.
The shock jock and ARN Media have officially settled their massive legal dispute over the termination of his $100 million contract, the media company agreeing to pay him $12 million to settle the dispute. But it's not just cash changing hands.
ARN is also handing over $1.5 million worth of advertising space on its platforms to launch Kyle's next independent media venture, with ARN to take a near 20% cut of the revenue from that show. Now, this whole saga kicked off back in February when Kyle's iconic show with Jackie O. Henderson was pulled off air after Sanderlands accused his co-hosts of being off with the fairies,
and claimed her fixation on horoscopes made her almost unworkable.
